We would first of all like to thank everyone one who contributed work. The sheer quality, diversity and creativity evident in each submission made the judging process hugely satisfying for us but equally challenging to agree on our final selections. Every qualifying (licensed & attributed) image submitted to the call will be showcased here on the Photomediations website and we hope will continue to inspire & provide the foundations for others to produce new remix creations and showcase the benefits of open licensing within the creative sector.

“An ambitious and poetic combining of images and text, motion graphics – which explores what might be the visual language of a photograph on a screen… the submission has resonance with contemporary events in Europe.” (Katrina Sluis)

“In the tradition of other artists such as Andreas Müller-Pohle, Constantin has playfully explored the remediation and materiality of historical photographs in contemporary screen culture with the assistance of a Game Boy camera.” (Katrina Sluis)

“The humour that Elle has co-opted here is witty and subtly layered. Her use of a 19th century muscle man, placed on top of a scene that brings to mind Baywatch while giffing through the colours of the gay pride flag gives viewers a lot to interpret.” (Pippa Milne)

You might also be interested in the next stage of our project; the development of a set of open-source creative challenge cards that will feature selected Photomediations image submissions throughout the pack – fully attributed of course! The idea behind these is to build upon the creative jam sessions that we ran across Europe and Australia and offer these as tool to use within a classroom or group community setting to stimulate further exploration of open creative practice.

Once again, thanks so much for taking part in the Photomediations project!
